What temperature should I use to oven roast vegetables?<\/h3>\n

Surprisingly enough, roasting veggies requires a slightly lower temperature than you might think! I like to keep the oven at or below 300 degrees F to be sure that the vegetables don’t burn.<\/p>\n

There is nothing worse on a roasted vegetable tray than burned veggies. To avoid that, cook on low and for an appropriate amount of time. That means don’t put a delicate vegetable like kale in the oven at the same time as a thick vegetable like cauliflower.<\/p>\n

Cook on low, put in your dense veggies that will take longer to cook first, and then add the lighter ones later to be sure they get done at the same time and are not over or under cooked.<\/p>\n

Will everything on my roasted veggie tray cook the same?<\/h3>\n

Check out my post on how to make a vegetable tray<\/a> and how to cut and clean cauliflower<\/a> to learn more about how to properly prepare your vegetables.<\/p>\n

Every item of similar density should be a similar size in order for it to cook properly. That doesn’t mean that your kale and your broccoli need to be the same size, it just means that all of your vegetables of the same type should be similarly sized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping the pieces close in size takes the guess work out of roasting the vegetables. You can be sure that if one chunk is finished cooking, so are the other pieces of that same type of vegetable.<\/p>\n
